Belting Belkin Router!

there is an option to enable guest settings; this means that when you have people over who have brought their laptops etc and wish to use your internet connection, that you don't actually have to give your proper password over for them to connect, and also doesn't allow them on your home network (thus no access to your personal files and folders). I don't have this enabled as I generally trust anybody who'd be in my home and in that position but it's a very good feature to have these days. Hopefully now your network is secure, so I'll now tell you how to secure your actual router. You need to look back to the left side menu and scroll to the bottom where it says Utilities, and ten click on the 'System Settings' option.

the box) boasts "Storage Performance Networking". This means it's supposed to be fast for multimedia. The router itself has a USB port, which lets me plug in flash drives and USB hard drives enabling everyone on the network to access the files on the drive. It does require Belkin's Storage Manager software to be installed on the machines first though.

I've played some video files on my PC and laptop at the same time and all the video plays smoothly so the bandwidth is sufficient. I expect quite a few more multimedia files can be played concurrently. Streaming a single High Definition video to both my PC and laptop at the same time proved to be fine as well. You can also copy files into ...
